I don't speculate on stocks, however, I do have cash parked with a friend who is a "real" currency trader for a financial institution, and trades his own accounts (and their slaves, including mine) in parallel.

It's worked out pretty damn well over the last 12+ months.

I'd confidently say that over 99% of people that 'get into trading' lose all the capital they put in.

I was into investing on the stock market about 5-6 years ago but got out. I'm getting back into it within a few months. I've been collecting a ton of research since october,and going to come out with a plan to make me a Guru.

Invest in equities. Worse mistake you can make is to not put any money in, then 10 years later have money worth nothing due to inflation. Two words though: Long term. Invest for 5-6 year terms. Also another important concept is diversification. Just go with ETFs. Get an account with Schwab, their 'One Source' program has commission-free ETFs in just about any industry. For instance I just picked up several RYT shares with a $0 fee. Awesome!
